Yemen's Houthis have sunk a second Red Sea cargo ship in a week, the Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated Eternity C, after it was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades. Six crew members were rescued, and at least three others were killed. The Houthis claimed they attacked the ship because it was heading to Israel. The incident follows a similar attack on the Magic Seas cargo ship, which was also sunk by the Houthis. The group's attacks on international shipping have killed at least seven crew members and sunk four ships since November 2023, prompting condemnation from the US and the International Maritime Organization.

Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked a Liberian-flagged cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing three crew members and wounding two others, with several crew members kidnapped. The EU naval force rescued six castaway crew members, and the US Embassy in Yemen called for their safe release. The attack follows a claim by the Houthis to have sunk another vessel on Monday and is part of a renewed campaign against shipping in the Red Sea, a vital trade route. The Houthis have been launching strikes against vessels in the Red Sea since October 2023 in solidarity with Palestinians, targeting over 100 merchant vessels and sinking two, with the latest attacks raising fears of a new escalation in the region.

At least four people were killed and many crew members were kidnapped after Houthi rebels sank the cargo ship Eternity C in the Red Sea. The ship was first attacked on Monday with drones and rocket-propelled grenades and sank on Wednesday. Of the 25 people on board, six were rescued after spending over a day in the sea, while the fate of 15 crew members remains unknown. The US embassy in Yemen reported that several survivors were kidnapped by the Houthi rebels, who are aligned with Iran and have attacked over 100 ships since November 2023 in a show of solidarity with the Palestinians.
